I saw a 190E 2.4 16V in Austin at a shop that is owned by a friend or my
dads about a 6 months ago. I thought it was cool looking and it sparked
enough interest for me to research it a little. I didn't know what they
were or that they had a cosworth engine and now I want one, but I imagine
they are very expensive not to mention hard to find locally.

Subject: Re:insane speed in german cars
I witnessed a MB 190 2.4-16 in germany doing 240 Kph or about 144 mph !!!
i couldn't believe it, and it was only 4 speed stick. the damn thing didn't
even have a limiter, it was redlining. Ridding in the back seat i was scared
, i could feel the ABS modulating the barking when idiots were cutting us
off.
